Chaoyang Li is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with sixty or seventy households and a population of four hundred, which is the one with the largest number of household registrations in the jurisdiction of Huyang Pavilion. However, when I got closer, the pattern was not much different from the sunset in Heifu's house, it was still surrounded by a wall, like a self-contained cottage, and the inner door was the only exit.

This pattern, first, since ancient times, the village community has gathered to build walls to prevent thieves and robbers, and second, the Qin State has imposed mandatory regulations in order to control the population and not wander and move at will.

Hefu is truly grateful for this system, otherwise if he can come and go at will, even if he has great ability, he will not be able to catch the person who submitted the book.

When the three of them came to the inner door, the inner prison door was squatting by the door, holding a pottery bowl, eating with a wooden dagger, Heifu's red silk uniform logo was obvious, and the identity was known without asking, the inner prison door hurriedly spit out the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth, greeted him with a smile, and said:

"I heard that there is a new pavilion chief in Huyang Pavilion, and I don't want to be in my sunrise on the first day, I really love Benli."

The prison door here looks like a simple and simple middle-aged man, in his 40s, with a yellow face and black beard, and his hair is wrapped in silk cloth. ”

The prison door waved his hand again and again: "Where is it, the pavilion chief is a superior, we want to invite but can't come!" What to bother or not? Li Zheng also discussed with me yesterday, saying that when the snow melts, he will go to the pavilion to visit......"

He was very polite, and finally looked at the rope pinned to Heifu's waist, narrowed his eyes, and asked with some vigilance: "I just don't know what the pavilion chief is doing here?" Could it be that someone in this book is committing a crime? ”

Heifu shook the two-foot wooden slip in his hand and said with a smile: "There is no him, just a routine inspection, there are often thieves after winter, yesterday I caught a wandering soldier in the poplar tree, and now he has been sent to the countryside." The morning sun is a big mile, and you can't relax against thieves......"

The two-foot wooden slip and the rope, these are the two things that the pavilion chief carries with him, the two-foot wooden slip is engraved with the law, which is also equivalent to the police certificate, and the rope is used to tie up the prisoner, which is equivalent to handcuffs.

Hearing that it was just a routine inspection, the prison gate seemed to be relieved, and if someone committed a crime, maybe he would be implicated.

Heifu chatted with the inner prison door at the door for a while, and mainly asked, could there be outsiders in yesterday?

"Yesterday?"

The inner prison door touched the beard on his chin, rolled his eyes, thought about it carefully, looked at Ji Ying and said: "Dare to say that Yu Pavilion Chief, except for this postman yesterday, no other people entered the house." ”

"Then from yesterday afternoon to today, have there been people who have gone out and not returned?"

"Those who went out hunting have all returned, and except for the two who went to the county at the beginning of the month to serve as a guard, no one else is stayed."

Now, Heifu can basically be sure, if the prison door is not lying, the person who submitted the book is still in the middle at this time!

"Lixian."

Heifu said: "You sit here with the prison gate, and Ji Ying and I will visit Lizheng." As he spoke, Hauff gave Leham a look.

They had discussed it before, a pavilion chief with a pavilion guard to patrol Chaoyangli, he would definitely not be able to hide it, and the person who submitted the book might panic and hurry out of the house after knowing it, so Heifu asked Lixian to stay here - in fact, even the prison gate could not completely clear the suspicion at this moment.

"What if that person climbs over the wall and leaves?" When the two walked side by side, Ji Ying asked quietly.

"It's possible."

Heifu nodded: "In that case, as long as we ask Li Zheng to count the number of people in Lizhong, we will know who ran away, and the person who ran away is the person who submitted the book." Although I can't catch it for the time being, I finally know who did it. ”

The two of them walked in the direction of Lizheng's house, and on the other side, Liham and the inner prison door chatted without saying a word, while looking at Heifu's back, they couldn't help but have some mixed feelings.

He came from a good background, and was a distant branch of a larger clan in Hongxiang "Li Shi", able to read and write, and also had a rough understanding of the law, just because he was not set up as a "queen" by his father, that is, a successor, he could not inherit the title of land, and could only come out as a soldier to make a living on his own. originally wanted to go to the county to be a small official, but in the Qin State, an official must have a knighthood, so he had no choice but to come to the Huyang Pavilion where there was a shortage of money to be a pavilion pawn and eat together, after all, there was a wife and children at home to support.

But even so, Li Xian still has a little pride in his heart, not only does he look down on Xiao Tao and Yuliang, who are also pavilion pawns, but he actually doesn't pay attention to even begging to steal Dongmen Leopard. In the past month, the big and small affairs in the pavilion, if there was no him, I am afraid that it would have been chaotic long ago.

So Lixian was a little conceited, and felt that with his own ability, he could be the pavilion chief.

However, after the arrival of Heifu, Liham's pride slowly disappeared.

This pavilion chief is a real meritorious service, and he won the championship in the martial arts, and was favored by the county right lieutenant, and he is not the kind of person who comes up by nepotism, so Lixian has nothing to say, but he is still a little unconvinced.

But when he heard that Heifu was in the assessment, and the legal questions were all correct, Liham was also stunned, and he was not sure that he could achieve such a good result.

In the subsequent anonymous letter incident, Heifu showed careful judgment and narrowed the scope of suspects little by little, which surprised Lexian even more, and he always felt that the pavilion chief seemed to have been specially trained to judge cases......

That's why Lexian admired and was unwilling to Hefu.

Time passed quickly, and a moment later, Heifu and Ji Ying returned from Lizheng's house.

"How?" As soon as Heifu arrived, he asked Leham to come over and asked in a low voice, "Can anyone want to go out?" ”

Liham shook his head: "I kept watching, and no one came. ”

Heifu muttered, "So...... The person who submitted the book was either too timid and lucky, and still hid in it, not daring to go out. Either he was too bold and thought we wouldn't find him, or he was ...... I've run over the wall! ”

"Do you want to let Li Zheng gather all the people in the whole Li and count the number of people?" Ji Ying felt that they were already very close to the person who submitted the book, and they were ready to go.

"If you can not disturb the people, don't disturb, if you make the place restless, we will have no success."

Heifu thought for a while and said: "I asked Li Zheng carefully, and I know that there are only twenty literate people here, and among these twenty people, only three of them had contact with Ji Ying yesterday and had the opportunity to submit a book!" ”

"Three!?" Liham's eyes lit up, and it was much easier to find.

"Do you want to arrest these three people together and ask them about it?"

"There's no hurry." Heifu said: "We don't know what that person is going to report, if we arrest so many people rashly, I am afraid that the grass will startle the snake, and even the rabbit will be scared away." “

Now, what Heifu is most concerned about is not the identity of the "sunrise masses", but the content of the person written in the letter, knowing that it is illegal to submit anonymous letters, and the postman and the pavilion chief may also burn it directly and not read it, even so, he still took the risk to vote, there must be a demon when things go wrong, he must be like a surgery, peel off the cocoon, and check it out little by little!

After thinking about it, Heifu said: "In this way, let's not make a noise first, go to these three people separately, see if they are still at home, and then try them!" ”

……

"Bang bang."

In the morning sun, the courtyard door of a certain gentleman's house was knocked loudly!

"Who is it?"

The gentleman was holding his son in the house, and only after a long time did he come out impatiently and pull the door open, and looked at the person who knocked on the door viciously, but it was a thin man with a hippie smile, who had come to the house yesterday to congratulate him on the birth of his son......

"What?" The gentleman was puzzled, he had no relatives serving in the army, and it was impossible for anyone to send him a letter.

"Come, I have something to say to you." Ji Ying was mysterious, and after the public came over, he whispered in his ear: "I have seen that object!" ”

"What?" The public servant's face was full of inexplicability.

"That's it!" Ji Ying blinked, desperately hinting at the princess.

"Sick!" The public servant was still confused, and after scolding Ji Ying angrily, he slammed the courtyard door and continued to coax his son......

"You guy, so rude, there must be something wrong!" Ji Ying was so angry that he screamed, causing this neighbor to come out to see him, so he quickly covered his mouth and slowly retreated.

At the same time, at the other end of the rising sun, Li Xian also said goodbye from Tian Dian's house, his face was serious, he looked in the direction of Li Dong, and frowned.

"The most suspicious son of Tian Dian has also been ruled out, is it really useful for the pavilion chief to play tricks, pretend to know and ask questions, and deceive the bookmaker without exposing it?"

Leham's heart was full of doubts, and at the same time, he became more and more curious about who the author was and what the purpose of the book was......

"I don't know what's going on with the pavilion chief?"
